Here yer go SSS got this reply to my question already.
There is a little tool(-let) out there called DirectX Buster. One can
download it for free, so your excellency does not have to cut down on is purchases of rare wines and ports.
One could search the 'net for it. The name of the .exe to be downloaded is: 'dxb21b4e.exe'. Though one is not sure this is the latest version.
